Writer by day, researcher by night. I'm a Gosei studying in the Greater Toronto Area, Assistant Editor for Discover Nikkei, and former Heritage Research and Collections Assistant at Toronto's JCCC. Using interesting stories to make learning accessible is my passion.

Shizue Seigel is a San Francisco-based Japanese American Sansei born just after her family’s release from World War II incarceration. Her poetry, prose and visual art draw from lived experience in segregated Baltimore, post-Occupation Japan, strawberry sharecropping camps, Calfiornia skid rows, and Indian ashrams. As founder/director of Write Now! SF Bay, she supports people of color through free creative writing workshops, events, exhibits, and five anthologies funded by the San Francisco Arts Commission, California Arts Council, California Humantities, and others. Her nine books include In Good Conscience: Supporting Japanese Americans during the Internment; My First Hundred Years: The Memoirs of Nellie Nakamura; Uncommon Ground: Journeys to Creative Activism; Essential Truths: The Bay Area in Color; Civil Liberties United, and Courting a Man Who Doesn't Talk. She's been published in many antholgies and journals, most recently Panorama Journal, Journal X, Porter Gulch Review and Ginsoko.
